Farfisa organ (synthorchestra) in prog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Can you name the bands and artists (in different prog subgenres) who come to mind when I speak about the use of the Farfisa "synthorchestra"?

One of my fav album which includes Farfisa "synthorchestra" parts is MOONDAWN by Schulze in the very spacey Mindphaser:

	I only remember reading the name Farfisa Organ from the sleeve notes of Mike Oldfield's Hergest Ridge (Tubular Bells & Ommadawn perhaps too).

	Others bands who are familiar with the Farfisa organ, but not the "synthorchestra" in particular: the germans Weltruamstaunen in their self title album used the farfisa organ for a long epic track Also Brian ENO in his ambiant / cerebral post rock album "An other green world" Tangerine Dream in their meditative "ZEIT" use farfisa organ, next to synth, vibraphones...
